Victoria Monét’s Frequency Of Love Tour has changed course during its opening stretch: the Raleigh and New Orleans shows are canceled, while the Charlotte performance has been moved to a different date and venue.
The Raleigh concert had been scheduled for October 27 at Red Hat Amphitheater, with New Orleans set to follow on October 30 at The Fillmore New Orleans. Both listings are now marked canceled. Charlotte, initially planned for October 28 at Skyla Credit Union Amphitheater, has been rescheduled for November 5 at Ovens Auditorium.
Production challenges were cited for the adjustments. That phrase can cover a wide range of behind-the-scenes issues—such as staging, equipment, transport, venue logistics, or the coordination needed to present a show as designed—but no more specific reason has been established in the available information. Fans should avoid assuming that either of the canceled performances will receive replacement dates unless a new official listing appears.
What changed on the tour schedule
- Raleigh, North Carolina: October 27 at Red Hat Amphitheater — canceled.
- Charlotte, North Carolina: moved from October 28 at Skyla Credit Union Amphitheater to November 5 at Ovens Auditorium.
- New Orleans, Louisiana: October 30 at The Fillmore New Orleans — canceled.
- Houston, Texas: October 31 at 713 Music Hall is the next active date shown on the current schedule.
The Charlotte show is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m., with doors opening at 7 p.m. Ovens Auditorium is located at 2900 E. Independence Boulevard in Charlotte. The shift is not merely a calendar change: it also moves ticket holders from an outdoor amphitheater booking at Skyla Credit Union Amphitheater to an indoor auditorium performance at Ovens.
That venue change matters in practical terms. Fans should make sure that their transportation, parking, arrival plans, accessible seating arrangements, and meet-up details reflect the new location rather than the original venue. A ticket that remains valid for a rescheduled event is not necessarily a reason to assume every event-specific detail carries over unchanged. The operative details are the revised date, the new venue, and the listed door and start times.
Charlotte tickets remain valid
People who purchased tickets for the original Skyla Credit Union Amphitheater date can use those tickets for the November 5 show at Ovens Auditorium. This is a rescheduled performance rather than a cancellation, an important distinction for ticket holders.
In ticketing terms, a rescheduled event generally means the original purchase is honored for the replacement date, subject to the organizer’s terms. A canceled event, by contrast, ends that particular booking and typically triggers the refund process. Charlotte falls into the first category; Raleigh and New Orleans fall into the second.
For Charlotte attendees, the key takeaway is straightforward: keep the original ticket information available, confirm the November 5 details in the event listing, and plan around Ovens Auditorium. The show’s timing is currently listed as doors at 7 p.m. and the performance at 8 p.m.
Raleigh refunds: how the automatic process works
Raleigh ticket buyers are set to receive automatic refunds. The funds will be returned to the original payment method once the organizer provides the money for the refund process. The expected timeframe is 14 to 21 days for the refund to appear.
“Automatic” is useful, but it does not mean money will necessarily appear immediately after an event switches to canceled status. The stated process has two steps: first, the organizer sends the funds; then the refund is issued back to the payment method used for the original transaction. Processing time can therefore extend across the quoted 14-to-21-day window.
There is also a significant rule for tickets that were transferred. If a Raleigh ticket was transferred to another person, the refund goes to the original buyer, not the person who currently holds the transferred ticket. That distinction is particularly important for groups, gifts, and private arrangements. The person who originally paid through the ticketing platform is the person designated to receive the automatic refund.
For anyone coordinating reimbursement privately after a transfer, it is sensible to keep transaction records and communicate clearly with the original purchaser. That is not a new refund mechanism; it is simply the practical implication of the refund being routed back to the original payment method.
A changed final night for Red Hat Amphitheater’s current site
The Raleigh cancellation also altered a notable local venue moment. Monét had been scheduled to play the last concert at Red Hat Amphitheater’s current location before the venue relocates. Instead, Steve Lacy played the site’s final show on October 23.
That performance was sold out and closed out the existing location’s run ahead of a new amphitheater planned next door. Red Hat Amphitheater opened in 2010. The replacement venue is targeted to open in June 2027 and is planned to include more than 6,000 sloped seats as well as permanent bathrooms.
For Raleigh’s concert calendar, the change creates two separate stories: Monét’s canceled date, with automatic refunds for purchasers, and the completion of the current Red Hat site’s event history with Lacy’s October 23 show. The latter does not turn Monét’s canceled appearance into a postponed farewell date; it confirms that the current location’s final concert has already taken place.
The planned venue improvements also help explain why the transition is meaningful beyond one booking. Sloped seating refers to seating arranged on an incline, a design intended to provide clearer sightlines across a crowd than a flat layout. Permanent bathrooms are another infrastructure change, replacing a temporary-event approach with fixed facilities. The available plan describes those features, but the June 2027 opening remains a target rather than a completed opening.
The tour follows a new 22-song album
The scheduling changes arrive shortly after Monét released Frequency of Love on October 2 through Lovett Music/RCA Records. The album contains 22 songs and includes appearances by SZA, Bruno Mars, Leon Thomas, and Monét’s daughter Hazel.
The tour is Monét’s first since 2023. Its original plan had Raleigh as opening night, which makes the cancellation especially consequential for fans who expected the city to begin the run. With Houston now listed as the next active concert date, the immediate focus shifts to whether the revised schedule proceeds from the October 31 stop onward.
A tour launch carries special weight because it is often where an album’s live presentation becomes public for the first time: the order of songs, stage design, costumes, transitions, and pacing all come together around a fixed series of venue dates. Still, the available information establishes only that production challenges prompted these changes. It does not detail which parts of the production were affected or whether later shows will be changed.
For now, the confirmed facts are narrower and more useful than speculation. Raleigh and New Orleans are canceled. Charlotte has moved to November 5 at Ovens Auditorium, with original Skyla ticket holders able to attend. Raleigh refunds are automatic, take an estimated 14 to 21 days to appear after the organizer sends funds, and return to the original buyer’s payment method in cases of ticket transfers.
Music scheduling changes can become confusing quickly when old venue pages, social posts, transferred tickets, and travel plans overlap. The most reliable approach is to treat each affected date separately rather than assuming the same outcome applies to all three cities. Charlotte attendees should prepare for the replacement event; Raleigh purchasers should watch the refund path; and New Orleans customers should consult their event and ticket information for cancellation handling.
